Hi,

I once ran into somebody on a site that had some way of calling a session (ba6.1 sessionname) with arguments that somehow reflected the fields on the session form (probably based on tab order). E.g.

ba6.1 ti0101m000 "PART B" would call that session and load the record directly based on the argument passed to it.

Althoug you can can program this yourself for your own sessions using argv$, I am not sure how this works for existing sessions. I saw it work some years ago. Anybody who knows more about this or has some documents related to it?

RE areanvv's post above, anyone know anything about passing arguments to a session from the command line?

Thanks Vamsi,
What is the command to start the session directly from command line (I think we can give session=<session name>. Can we start menu also from command line.
with regards,

you can use:

bshell6.1 <object name>

It is not so simple to use a session for an external point of baan. there is multiple solutions like DDC& function servers, baan client OLE integration, baan API, Openworld&BOI.

Calling a session with parameters is not a solution.

If you want more information about standard solutions (DDC, OLE and Openworld). Perhaps you should open a thread on tools developments forum?

Check this other threads where much has been ongoing on related to the bshell options:

There are other bits of information related to this scattered all over the Baanboard, use the search engine for a particular one.
